The Healthy Cedar Valley Coalition and community partners will present “A Practical Backyard Tour” of Waterloo and Cedar Falls on Saturday, June 18th from 10 AM – 1 PM!
Homeowners and organizations will be opening up their green spaces and backyards to share various sustainable and earth-friendly practices. Visit 7 creative, sustainable backyards and green spaces at your own pace and in any order. Tour locations will highlight topics such as: edible landscaping, rain gardens, pollinator gardens, water features, seed saving, permeable paver systems, native prairie landscaping, composting, vegetable production, pesticide-free lawns, bioswales, and raised beds!
This public educational event is FREE and will take place rain or shine! (However, a $3 donation to the Healthy Cedar Valley Coalition is suggested and greatly appreciated.)
